Hollywood recognition can't erase trauma. But those struggling may find hope in Fraser's success.
"In seeing a public figure experience this kind of comeback, we have an opportunity to allow the story to challenge our assumptions about ourselves and others, reconsider limiting beliefs, and even gain insight in the creative ways we can face difficulties throughout our lifetime," says Amanda Garcia Torres, licensed mental health counselor atFraser, once a sought-after movie star, took a break from blockbusters for many years.
Garcia Torres says"it is incredibly healing and meaningful for trauma survivors to welcome joy after experiencing harm." That doesn't mean denying"the gravity and impact of what has occurred, but choose how they will now live their life going forward," she adds.Cecille Ahrens"This is when a person survives and thrives after experiencing a traumatic event," she says.
"It can motivate us towards change," says Ahrens."It can also be a great reminder that our past doesn’t have to define us and that our pain doesn’t have to forever rule our lives. The more people who are in public positions and roles talk about their own struggles, the more normalizing and destigmatizing it will be to seek mental health care. The underlying message is that we can heal and move on and still live a full life despite what happened.
Garcia Torres says embrace it:"When we see this, it can remind us that we also have the chance to overcome our own painful experiences. In particular, it can also be very healing and validating to witness another person be truly heard and seen. 'If the world is willing and able to believe and accept their story, maybe it is possible for me to share my story, too.'"
